A Lamar sheriff's deputy was seriously injured after wrecking her patrol car while on the way to a domestic dispute early Wednesday morning.

Deputy Jeannie Devane was taken by ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center after the 12:30 a.m. crash. Medical evacuation helicopters were grounded due to low ceilings and visibility. UPDATE: Devane was listed in guarded condition at 8 a.m. Wednesday. UPDATE 2: Devane is reported to be "very banged up" and has one broken vertebrae in her lower back but her doctors are optimistic.

"Guarded Condition" SO glad to hear that. Our officers put so much on the line. I don't know Deputy Devane personally, but have heard very good things about her. She's a college student while working full time. I only hope the best for her. I hope all of our law enforcement stay safe and THANK YOU for everything you guys (and gals) do!!!

Since you are apparently too busy to "Google" your question, I will do my good deed for the day and provide you and other non-Googlers with the answer to your question.

"Guarded is better than Critical or Serious, and not as good as Stable. Usually, Guarded condition is on the good news side of the equation." The patient's condition is being guarded against further complications.

Jeanie is a fine deputy and has a bright future ahead of her. She is ambitious and wants to further her education to advance in the law enforcement community. I wish I knew who the heroic civilian was who extricated her. Without a doubt he saved her life. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks so much for the person who got her out. He or She whoever it may have been was her angel this am. Her life was surely saved. Prayers go out to her and her family as she was in a couple of my classes. Truely a sweet person with a good personality.

Deputy Devane, I hope that you will have a speedy recovery. Thank God for the heroic passerby that saved you!! I'm so glad that it was not worse than it already was. May God be with you during the healing and recovering process. My prayers are with you.

Jenni....this is some Idiot trying to blog and she is jealous of you for some reason. When they will not give their name, there is an obvious reason for that also. They are hypocrites, they know you know them so they cannot put their name out there because it would show one of their other many faces.

My advice, just quit replying to them. They eventually lose interest because they have a thought process equal to that of a green onion.

i really hate that this has happened to one of our deputies but i do have to say that she is notorious for driving way too fast around the county and city even in her personal vehicle.. i hope she recovers quickly and slows down

I pray that your spouse doesnt beat you because If I was a Deputy in lamar county I would do 10 mph below the speed limit just so they could kick your butt. Just because you see a deputy speeding does not mean that they are not on there way to a call. Put her boots on and do her job for a while then you can comment on how she drives you idiot.

Jeannie graduated from LCCHS and then got her degree in criminal justice at Gordon, she then got certified as a police officer in Clayton County. She is currently workin on a degree in Science at Gordon and will continue to study the field of crime scene forensics..

Yep Jeannie is going to slow down that Crown Vic and that pony she drives.
Back to E-voc class in Forsyth and Smith's School of Driving. Her brother is gonna slow his down too. They also gonna work on that following too closely thingy.

i guess some people can't handle the truth about certain things. i am not saying she is bad deputy but sometimes there are certain things that are required from a deputy sort of like an oath of office.. why pull someone over for the same thing you are doing... kinda of like DUIs... i don't want this incident to be a lesson learned but hopefully it will slow her down in both cases... next time she might not be that lucky or it could be someone that she hits not a tree... this could happen to anyone... think about your loved one and what you would expect from them as law enforcement... i myself know some police officers that drink and drive on a regular basis but are quick to send someone to jail for the same... kinda like the pot calling the kettle black...

I am Dustin Elliot's cousin, and it's so exciting to see what a good thing he's done and how people are saying that he's a hero. The story was updated today that he and Jeannie met at a ceremony for his birthday, and I am glad to see that she is up and walking around. I think it must have been fate that he was driving by just as she crashed, and have high hopes for both their futures!
